Top Eastern Conference Contenders
The Eastern Conference had won three straight Stanley Cups before the St Louis Blues won in 2019. Three of the top four contenders for the 2020 Stanley Cup, based on the opening odds, reside in the East – Vegas, Boston, and Toronto are all tied for the second-best odds .
Atlantic Division
The last time a team from the Atlantic division won the Stanley Cup was the Boston Bruins in 2011. But three of the top four contenders, based on the opening odds, are all from the Atlantic: Tampa Bay, Boston, and Toronto.
Metropolitan Division
Teams from the Metro division are responsible for the Eastern Conference’s last three Stanley Cups: Washington in 2018 and Pittsburgh in 2016 and 2017. However, it’s the only division that didn’t have a team open in the top eight 2020 Stanley Cup contenders – the Capitals were tied for the ninth-best odds.
Top Western Conference Contenders
Eight of the top 12 contenders for the 2020 Stanley Cup reside in the Western Conference, one of these teams being the reigning champion St Louis Blues.
Central Division
In 2019, the St Louis Blues brought the cup back to the Western Conference for the first time since 2015. However, they open the 2019-20 season looking up at the Colorado Avalanche on the Stanley Cup odds board.
Pacific Division
For a second straight season, the Vegas Golden Knights have opened with the best odds to win the Stanley Cup among Western Conference teams.
Odds for Teams Who Have Never Won a Cup
Stats for Teams Searching for Their First Cup
| Team | Years in the NHL | Cup Final Appearances | Closest They’ve Come |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vancouver Canucks | 48 | 3 | Game 7 Cup Final losses in both 2011 and 1994. No one in Vancouver will ever forget LaFayette’s post or the ensuing riots. |
| Buffalo Sabres | 48 | 2 | Game 6 in 1999. Losing in overtime, no thanks to Brett Hull’s foot in the crease. |
| San Jose Sharks | 27 | 1 | Game 6 in 2016. They’ve never been able to shed their label as chokers. |
| Nashville Predators | 20 | 1 | Game 6 in 2017. Nashville fans still rue the bad call on Sissons’ go-ahead goal. |
| Ottawa Senators | 26 | 1 | Game 5 in 2007. A heartbreaking series for that culminated in the infamous Emery-Phillips mixup. |
| Vegas Golden Knights | 1 | 1 | Game 5 in 2018. Luca Sbisa hands the game to Lars Eller to end the Knights historic run. |
| Florida Panthers | 25 | 1 | Swept by Colorado in 1996, despite the year of the rat. |
| Arizona Coyotes | 22 | 0 | Lost in 5 games to the LA Kings in 2012. Dustin Brown isn’t admired by Glendale faithful. |
| Winnipeg Jets | 24 (1979-1996, 2011-2018) | 0 | Defeated by the LA Kings in 5 games in 2018. Canada’s best hope was no match for Ryan Reaves’ heroics. |
| Minnesota Wild | 18 | 0 | Swept in the 2003 Conference Finals. Despite a disappointing playoff history, they did end Patrick Roy’s career in spectacular fashion. |
| Columbus Blue Jackets | 18 | 0 | The Jackets have only won 4 playoff games in their history, 2 in 2014 and 2 in 2018. They probably beat the Caps if not for Lars Eller’s shin, though. |
The St Louis Blues were a member of this list last season, but scratched their name off here by etching their name onto the Stanley Cup in 2019.
